In picture environment

\makebox(width,height)[position]{ ... }

The \makebox command for the picture environment
is similar to the normal \makebox command except
that you must specify a width and height (note that these are
in parentheses) in multiples of
\unitlength.

The optional argument, position, specifies the
quadrant that your text appears in. You may select up to two of
the following:

t - Moves the item to the top of the rectangle

b - Moves the item to the bottom

l - Moves the item to the left

r - Moves the item to the right

The default horizontal and vertical positioning is to center
text in the box.
